The perennial question... The one thing I do know is that the plural of hemipenis (the paired set of penises/penii on a snake) is hemipenes... As in 'study of garter snakes reveals that in general the hemipenes on the right-hand-side of the body are larger than their counterparts on the left'. (Yes, people study the hemipenes of snakes and probably even get paid for it.) I've never head anyone call them 'penes' when comparing two men though. *wanders off in deep thought*
Heh. When I spell checked this, the lj spellchecker didn't bat an eye at penises, but penii, penes, hemipenis, and hemipenes all got flagged. :)
